Weeping fig is a very large evergreen tree native to the tropical areas of India, Asia, Australia, and Malaysia.It is typically grown as a large tree, shrub or houseplant. The inconspicuous flowers bloom in spring and are followed by small fruit that may be orange, pink, or red. A very small, non-stinging wasp is required for pollination and fertile fruit.The simple dark green leaves are glossy and attractive.Planted in warm, frost-free climates the weeping fig becomes a huge tree with invasive ground roots and spreading aerial branches.It is only suitable for very large gardens and parks. Weeping fig is also used extensively as a hedge. Wherever planted as a hedge or tree, weeping fig roots can invade water lines and lift pavement.In hurricane prone zones, weeping fig is very susceptible to falling during a storm. The pollinating wasp for weeping fig has not been found in the United States yet, but is on some Pacific Islands where weeping fig is now invading by seed.A beautiful interior plant, weeping fig requires well-drained soil, even moisture and moderate to high light conditions. If a weeping fig is to be used as an interior specimen, be sure the plant is acclimatized which means the grower has subjected it to interior-like growing conditions before shipping to avoid shock.The most common complaint about weeping fig houseplants is dropped foliage. Any change in environment, light, temperature, location, even the heating or air conditioning coming on, causes weeping figs to drop their leaves.The good news is the leaves are quickly replaced and will stay put if conditions are corrected.
